SNOW WHITE AND SYDNEY WHITE

(They lived happily ever after)

It is possible to say, fairy tales and love story usually end at this point with the simple phrase, “They lived happily ever after.”This may be because fairy tales regard marriage as a climax to the story after the romance of courtship. But we think that “wedding” is not as a plane of arrival but the place where the adventure begin.

Indeed, we can see the divorce rate in our culture is higher from time to time. What happened to “live happily ever after”? Why is it so hard to maintain the hopes and dreams that surround a beautiful wedding with all its promises of love and loyalty, sacrifice and services? Therefore, we can jump into conclusion, fairy tales and love story is just to make readers and viewers dream in their fantasy world. We personally like to read stories or watch movie that end happily ever after.

Obviously, in the fairy tale story, “Snow white” as well as the modern retelling of the fairy tale, “Sydney White”, revealed the term of “live happily ever after” at the end. The story “Snow white” begins with Lilliana Hoffman is the birth mother of the young girl, Lilly, who is later known as “Snow White”. Lilliana Hoffman dies in a carriage accident. Her husband, Friederick Hoffman, is forced to perform a c-section to save his unborn daughter. A few years later, the girl (Liliy) is brought inside to meet her new stepmother, Lady Claudia, whom Lilly instantly dislikes. Liliy then grows into womanhood. Her stepmother always have wicked plan to get rid the “snow white”. At the end of the story Lilly manages to find Claudia’s weakness, destroying the evil mirror, and thus her stepmother. Lilly leaves the castle, alive, with Will and her father. They lived happily ever after.

On the other hand, “Sydney White” is a 2007 film that based on the story of “Snow White”. This modern story revealed about a beautiful collage freshman as she pledges her late mother mother’s once dignified sorority. But after discovering that today’s sisterhood is not what is used to be, Sydney finds her new home away from home with seven outcasts. With the help of her socially challenged new friends, Sydney will take on the reigning campus queen to attempt to transform the school’s misguided social hierarchy. At the end of the story, the film showed, Sydney lived happily together with her lover, her father and her friends.

So, what we can conclude is that, in the common story of fairy tales and love, we can always see that a good character (usually is the main character) is always win at the end of the story. On the other hand, an evil one usually defeated. That is the typical fairy tales alike. It always can be predicted. The story always end with happiness.
